Success Is Not Achieved By Luck

“Success Is Not In what You Have But in Who You Are -Bo Bennett”

Some people believe success is achieved by accident or by luck and some people leave the possibility of being successful up in the air with a maybe it will happen, or it just was not in the cards for me. Whenever you have a second or a minute to ponder use it to visualize on what if? What if I really gave my all, what if I really committed to starting and never quitting would I then still say I got lucky. There are many definitions of success you have the dictionary definition and you have people’s own interpretation of success. The dictionary says success means: the accomplishment of an aim or purpose, the attainment of popularity or profit, and a person or thing that achieves desired aims or attains prosperity. My definition is creating a life I love living in my purpose that is bigger than me. I heard a unique break down of success on a morning podcast that I listen to every morning. He stated, “see your goal, understand the obstacles, create a positive mental picture, clear your mind of self-doubt, embrace the challenges, stay on track, and show yourself you can do it”. This made my entire day because these are all the things we should practice each day so in other words true success is doing the steps that takes you closer each day to living your best life.

Patience in our grind is what will help to prepare us for the level of success we aim to reach. When it all seems like it is taking too long to happen instead of counting and measuring the time begin to maximize your skills and concentrate on preparing our self mentally and physical to receive what is to come. We can never rush the process it is our map our guidance if we remain focus and embrace the time. We should focus on learning things that we will use forever we in this time we begin to learn things about our self, we begin to even find our own strengths. Because along the way a lot of things can and will happen that can cause self-doubt and even feeling over whelmed at times. One way to overcome that is really working on ourselves, our perspective on life, and how we handle adversities. Making sure we are always being grateful at all time when things are up and running and when things seem to be at a standstill. I am a firm believer that God never gives us more than we can handle understand that each adversity is simply just a test of our faith and a very necessary part of our growing process as a person. Never take the ever-changing life events personal welcome them, understand them, and learn from them as you take on your own journey to true success.
